Women Artists to See in the UK



There's always lots of art to see, but lately I've added lots of women artists to my wishlist to see! So I thought I'd highlight these women; some well known and thought about for years, others unknown and waiting to be discovered.

Georgina Houghton: Spirit Drawings at the Courtauld Gallery, London 
--Free, abstract, colourful, automatic, spirit watercolours by this Spiritualist Medium painting in the mid-late 19th Century.

 

Mona Hatoum at Tate Modern, London
--Contradictions, energy and emotion pulsate through simple conceptual juxapositions.


Georgia O'Keefe at Tate Modern, London
--Big Stunning Flowers Y-E-S, but also New Mexico landscapes and skulls.

Ella Kruglyanskaya at Tate Liverpool
---Portraits, conversations, relationships, everyday life...


Maria Lassnig at Tate Liverpool
--Gestural, evocative surreal figurative work


Rachel Whiteread at Tate Britain, London
---Plaster, rubber, resin sculpture casts of negative space of the everyday.


Winifred Nicholson in Cumberland at Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Kendal


Winifred Knights at Dulwich Picture Gallery, London
